    Picked up mine yesterday from Oilspill. Gotta say i'm lovin these guys!

    Some minor possible quality issues were found though: one of the 'arm guard panels' doesn't fit into the 'lens barrel' perfectly when it's stuffed full of weapons and SFX-03 Bullet doesnt quite lock into place happily in camera mode.

    These could both be the result of non-perfect-part-positioning on my part but it is annoying if you have to be spot on because the tolerances for getting it all the snap together perfectly are so tight.

    I still wish they were bigger. Their small size and complexity makes them extremely fiddly, even for my small girly hands. A larger size would have made them far more wieldy and allow for greater tolerances in the transformation.

    Gotta say, love the faces on these guys. So mean!

    Yeah, these guys are really awesome! I love how everything stores away, and the posability is top-notch, and the minigun even spins

    Lint, I don' know if it's the same issue but it took me ages to work out how to get everything to line up right when storing the weapons for camera mode. I had problems with the arm guard too until I switched the part that holds the knife the other way around or something (can't quite recall now). Plus there were a couple of tiny bits of flash that I had to remove with a scalpel on mine.

    But overall an awesome set, so tiny and so much detail.

    My set arrived today and I have to say they are amazingly cool little bots. So many small parts to keep track off. I know they were small but I was shocked to see how small in person. Like Legends Class with the articulation of a deluxe.

    So glad I got this set

    Nooo idea :P
    Honestly though, there isn't much that they could do that could possibly screw it up.

    Logically it would either have a red Spectro and blue Spyglass or be recoloured to look like a 'real' camera.

    Which means they'll probably do something completely different, like Nemesis Reflector. Then again, since a real camera could be black, maybe it is Nemesis Reflector.

    Thanks for the tip man, lens fits together nicely now. Turns out I had the knife stored the wrong way around last night, only just noticed that there is an outline on the inside of the arm guard showing you which way to park the knife.

    I'm sort of curious: can any of the MPs hold them like a camera in alt mode?
